Kremlin: NATO breeds instability, aggression

MOSCOW, July 12 (MENA) - The North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) breeds instability and aggression, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by TASS as having said Wednesday.

When commenting on NATO’s statements that it views cooperation between Moscow and Beijing as a threat, Peskov said: "Such statements indicate a misunderstanding of the essence of Russia-China relations." "Our relations have never been aimed against third countries or alliances in any way, even though we are talking about alliances that are aggressive in nature. It’s not an alliance that was conceived, created and built with the goal of ensuring stability and security. It is an offensive alliance. It is an alliance that breeds instability and aggression," Peskov stressed.

However, in his words, Russia-China relations have never been aimed against anyone. "Our relations bring peace and stability to the region. They provide prosperity to the two countries’ people, as well as to people in many regions, through creating common synergy for economic [development]," the Kremlin spokesman concluded.
